you can use >= and <= too. legal qualifiers, you specify the set of possible operations. for instance with boolean filters, you say only,excluded. In most cases, it should be the same as qualifier except the one i stated above. Although, I believe, the software should work without these but for martservice, these are useful for serving meta data of your mart. Try using ensmebl mart's dataset gene_ensembl as example, its quite rich. syed > > Btw, What is the legal qualifiers field?
